Going back in time, this prequel of "Freaks" takes place in the 1980's, following the story of young Andrea Donovan, Mother of "Freaks'" main protagonist, Makayla Woods. Unlike the previous installments, this chapter of freaks will focus on a more realistic part of the freaks' lives, their interactions with humans, with the hunters, and even with the freaks themselves. In addition to that, it will introduce old characters form the previous chapters, in a different state, a new one!
Focusing on Andrea, the main protagonist of this chapter, we will tell the story of how she will come across the Freaks, also called outcasts, and how she will be introduced to the hunters, and the war going on between the two, all while hidden from humans.

Invisible threats start crawling from all directions. Who is the real enemy?
TW : behaviours of depression and PTSD are displayed. I don't name them, but one of the character will be struggling a lot. It may not be suitable for everybody. Other adult matters are briefly included, but nothing explicit or intense.
Rewriting specifications : the main points of the story and end of the book will remain the same, am just going to change a few ways of getting there and adding some extra spice. Feel free to pause the read until the REWRITING sign disappears.
